The title Article 99 refers to a fictional legal loophole which states that American veterans cannot be treated in VA hospitals unless their illnesses are related to their military service. The pinchpenny administrator of a Kansas City hospital intends to follow this proviso to the letter, while his irreverent staff does everything it can to circumvent rules and red tape. When freewheeling surgeon
Ray Liotta is fired for exhibiting traces of humanity, the patients stage a revolt. Playing a new medico,
Kiefer Sutherland also stars. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
